  4. Add the grated frozen butter and shredded cheddar cheese to the flour mixture, tossing to coat.
  5. Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until just combined.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, bring the dough together, forming a rectangle.
  7. Lightly roll the dough to about 3/4 inch thick, fold it in thirds, then roll out again, repeating 3-4 times.

  2. Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, touching slightly.
  3. Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to keep the ingredients cold.
  4. Brush the tops with milk or buttermilk before baking.
  5. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown on top.
